Try the collection of greek macros in princeton.edu (anon. ftp, dir greek)
There are also regular greek characters with all necessary
ligatures, accents etc. (not the regular TeX math font).
You write greek either as
\begin{greek}
Andra moi enepe mousa polutropon ....
\end{greek}
or by using the \greekdelims command. In this case,
the above text would be:
@Andra moi enepe mousa polutropon ...@ 

Caution: since the fonts contain more than 128 characters (because
of ligatures), you need dvialw (from science.utah.edu -- Beebe collection)
dvi2ps won't work.
